The (muscle) force is with us! Flexing 2 decades of research, Simon Fraser University BPK professor James Wakeling’s work offers insights into training & recovery, better prosthetics and robotics in the #SFUScholarlyImpact of the Week: buff.ly/3uTN3Ko #SFUResearch SFU Science Wakeling Lab

1/ The fifth and final paper from my PhD thesis is out now in Interface! In this paper, we examined the effects of muscle mass on contraction efficiency. More details in thread ⬇️ Wakeling Lab royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.10…

New work by Jaylene Pratt reveals information in EMG signals persists across consecutive pedal cycles! doi.org/10.1249/MSS.00…

Have some muscle modeling work you’d like to share? Submit an abstract to #WCB2022 for the session Dynamic Muscle Modeling (in MSK 3: Modeling and Simulation) that I’m moderating with Tobias Siebert and James Wakeling! Deadline is Nov 15th at 23:59 GMT+8 wcb2022.com

Some great posters by the lab at the SIAM PNW Conference on parallel computing (Javier Almonacid), 3D dynamic muscle modelling (Cassidy Tam), and modelling effects of cerebral palsy (Ryan Konno)!

We’re hiring! 2-year fully funded postdoc with Friedl De Groote Friedl De Groote at KU Leuven in collab with Nilima Nigam SFU Mathematics and Steph Ross Steph Ross on predictive MSK simulations to test advanced muscle models during cycling and gait: biomch-l.isbweb.org/forum/biomch-l…
